You're located in Canada with a MSI Tomahawk Max B450 motherboard and an NXT NXZT510 case. The case includes a USB-C front panel and a USB-A socket. According to the manual, you should check if your front panel requires Gen 2 for USB-C functionality or just for performance. You might consider a PCI-E adapter to connect the Gen 2 front panel, or look for a motherboard in the same price range that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 headers.
USB 3.1 Gen2 uses one cable connecting a single plug to another. If it isn’t plugged in, it stays disconnected. There’s no wireless USB yet. I verified the motherboard specs and saw a Gen2 (type-A) port. If your case has that port, it should work. You might want to check the case details or ask the store for confirmation.
You can purchase a device that connects via a USB 3.0 header and restores functionality, though it operates at 5 Gbps speeds. Options include Amazon listings such as EZDIY-FAB USB 3.0 (3.1 Gen 2) Internal Header to USB 3.1/3.2 Type-C adapter and other similar products.
Sorry, I didn't fully understand the requirements. Just to clarify, it's Gen1 internal with a couple of Gen2 units on the back. No further details provided.
